Pease porridge HOT
Pease porridge COLD
Pease porridge IN the pot
Nine days OLD.
I do wish this blog had some nine-year-old readers who could tell me if all of that still goes on, if one Big Girl organizes the first-graders and passes on the rhymes.

I doubt kids still do hand-clapping, but I DO remember Miss Mary Mack.
ReplyDeleteMiss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For fifty cents, cents, cents
To see the elephant, elephant, elephant
Jump over the fence, fence, fence
(insert several more verses here)
Yeah, Shakespeare it ain't.
It jumped so high it hit the sky
DeleteAnd never came down till the fourth of July.
